I really admire my little girl.She is 13 and very smart,compassionate,mature and a leader.I wish I could have achieved all the good grades and awards she has achieved.I was more the wild child growing up...lol...she is so straight and narrow.

She is sooooo inquisitive! She has to know how and why. She sees the little details in things that I tend to overlook. I wish I could slow down and enjoy life the way she does, instead of trying to rush to get everything done. It's such a wonderful quality to have.

My dd is just like me. Except she is even more stubborn and head strong. She knows what she likes and does not like and is very vocal about it. I used to be like that before I got married and started my career. Now, I tend to keep my ideas and opinions inside. I wish I could be more vocal like her.

Do you get the "why? Why? Why?". At least you welcome her questions. Many parents get frustrated and brush their kids questions off with an "I don't know".

That's something to be thankful for. Though there is always time for her to get a wild streak later in life. LOL!

At a young age, kids just seem to care less about others opinions. And i wish it could stay that way forever.

She used to ask the neverending "why why why", but usually my answers were good enough for her! I home-school, so it's most definitely my job to answer any and all questions my children have... I am their teacher!The only time I ever became truly annoyed of the WHY or WHEN questions was when we were on vacation and all three children were asking them at the same time while we were in the van for hours. The physical exhaustion and boredom from the car ride was not a good combination on any of our moods!
